Once Upon a Time, in a land beyond imagination: Fairytales, fables, folktales, folklore, legends, literature, myths, nursery rhymes, and countless other fantasy stories have existed for thousands of years, known as world history in the F.E.U.-the "Fairytale Extended Universe"-these stories have inspired many people around the world with their tales of heroism, adventure, magic, romance, villainy, conquest, and self-discovery. Certain stories were so spell-binding, that they were passed down to new generations. But there was nowhere to teach the teenage descendants of famous fairytale figures to follow in their ancestors' fabled footsteps. That is until 1812, when the Brothers Grimm, Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, opened the doors to the "Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted"-a boarding school where the next generation of fairytale descendants learned how to follow, honor, and behold their legacies. Classes were specifically designed and structured for each kind of fairytale student-from learning how to rule kingdoms for royal legacies, to learning how to master magical powers for magic-user legacies, and so much more. Milton Grimm, a descendant of the Brothers Grimm, currently runs the school as headmaster, and believes that the future of the fairytale world relies on all students by fully embracing their pre-written duties today to become the new legends of tomorrow.
A new chapter is about to begin at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted, and all the second-year students are preparing to start their "Legacy Year." In just a few weeks, it will be "Heritage Day," when they will sign the "Seal of Promise" and commit to live out their fairytale destinies, honoring the famous stories of their ancestors.
Most fairytales start with Once upon a time... and well, this one too, although this might not seem like your typical fairytale...
So, once upon a time there lived a young girl in a big kingdom. Well, she didn't actually live in the kingdom, but on an island by the kingdom. This island was more like a prison where all people were banned who were a threat to the kingdom. This girl isn't one of them, but she's the daughter of one of those people.
She grew up imprisoned on that island with her friends, Jay, Caros and Evie and honestly, they didn't think it was too bad. But that could also be because they didn't know any better.
They'd watch tv and see Auradon, the place where princes and princesses grew up, where heroes were living their best lives, where kids were happily playing in the sun, where people had proper education and had jobs that actually mattered.
But for as far as Mal and her friends cared, life on the Isle was good enough for them and they were just going with it, until one day everything changed.
They got invited to Auradon by soon to be king Benjamin. It was difficult to change into that lifestyle, but the four vk's hadn't even really come to Auradon to do that.
They had been commissioned by their parents to find Fairy Godmother's wand and free the Isle of the Lost, so they could take over the kingdom. They had a plan to steal that wand during the coronation of prince Ben, but during the time in between arriving in Auradon and the coronation, Mal found herself falling in love with the prince.
Not only did she fall in love with him, the four vk's fell in love with the kingdom and realized that living there wasn't such a bad idea. Maleficent on the other hand didn't let go that easily and tried to fight them, but together they defeated her and got her turned into a tiny green lizard.
And so it all ended well, you'd say. But this was not the end of the story, no, there's much more to come...
